We couldn't be more proud!

“An individual is not an eye, a hip, or a heart. Each individual carries tens of thousands of genes, and each is part of the breed's gene pool. Breeders must consider all aspects, such as health issues, conformation, temperament, and working ability. Making breeding decisions based on a single testable gene is inappropriate.”- Jerold S Bell, DVM

​Director, OFA - The Canine Health Information Center

What is the CHIC Certification Program?

The OFA created the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) by partnering with participating parent clubs to research and maintain information on the health issues prevalent in specific breeds. They’ve established a recommended protocol for breed-specific health screenings. Dogs tested in accordance with that protocol are recognized with a CHIC number and certification.

At OFA, they recognize that the more information stored and accessible in these databases, the better it will be for every breed. And so they encourage all breeders to attain CHIC Certification if their breed participates in the CHIC program.

A dog achieves CHIC Certification if it has been screened for every disease recommended by the parent club for that breed and those results are publicly available in the database. See the recommended screenings by breed.

​We are often asked how we can afford our program and if it is through puppy sales. The truth is, like most preservation breeders, we do not make any money from puppy sales. Instead, much of our financial support comes from my husband's PatriotNostalgia Esty shop. He generously contributes all profits from his Handcrafted Fine Wood Goods French Bulldog Collection to our program.

This month, he is offering this beautifully handcrafted catch-all tray for purchase in his shop. It can be personalized with engraving, including logos. Isn't it gorgeous?

He also has a wide range of other designs listed on his site, each as unique and beautiful as the next. He has worked with clubs from various breeds to create personalized trophies for their shows and breeders who include them in their pup take-home bags. These are truly PAWFECT gifts and awards!
